Importance of Fine Weather.
Few are aware of tho extent to which Great
Britain depends upon foreign countries for
food. If Lancashire cannot get on without
cotton from the South, neither can England,
H ales, Scotland, and Ireland dispense with,
grain and flour from our Western States. ;
Hero, for example, is a Parliamentary return .
of the cost of imports of grain of all kinds, as f
well as of flour, into the United Kingdom
during tho last seven years:
1854
1855
1856
1857
1858...
1859
1860
£21,760,283
17,503.700
23,030.422
19,380,517
20,152,641
18,012,063
31.071.918
This sum, immense as it is, (equal to ,
$757,527,070 in seven years, or an average of.
$108,218,207 a year,) is not the whole amount;
of grain and flour imported by England in t
1850-00, both years inclusive. Tlie very bad
harvest of last year considerably increased
these imports. But tlie sum of thirty-one-'
millions and over set down as paid in 1800 :
does not represent the full cost incurred in ;
that year. For, we arc assured, (still on offi
cial authority,) that “ the payments in that j
year were not near so heavy as they have been i
since.” The official information brought down ;
to the end of April makes the value of the 4
grain aud flour imported in the first four
months of 1809 £4,884,045; 1800, £3,918,001,
aud 180], £12,435,485, by which it will be
seen that England lias been paying, for the
first four months of the current year, at the
rate of £37,800,305 per annum, or £8,522,434
more for breadstuff's than in the same period
of 1800.
As to the accuracy of our figures, for
which we are iudebted to Parliamentary re
turns, we have to say that these arc not to be
challenged. By Sir Robert Peel's Corn Law
of 1840, (tlie 9th and 10th Victoria: c. 22,)
tlie then-existing corn-laws were immediately
modified and totally repealed at tlie end of
three years, or on tlie first of February, 1040,
from which date wheat and other corn were
subjected, on importation into Great Britain,
to a fixed duty of one shilling (24 cents) a
quarter, and Hour and meal of all sorts, to a
fixed duty of four pence half-penny (!) cents)
per 112 lbs. Therefore, given the amount of
duty paid, and tho quantity consumed is ascer
tained. That, taken at the current market
price, gives tlie value of tlie whole import.
Thirty to thirty-seven millions sterling is an
immense sum to pay for food from foreign
places.
The importance of a good harvest, anil of
good weather as a great and inevitable aid is
deeply felt in England. It makes a great diffe
rence to John Bull, now that the United States
lias greatly ceased to exchange her surplus
food for manufactures, whether lie is to have
a scant or plentiful harvest— because that iu.
volves the question of sending gold from Eng
land to the United States, in very large quan
tities. For the last six or eight months, Eng.
land has been sending us gold, by almost every
steamer, and this condition of trade can only
be altered by tlie fortunate occurrence of a
good harvest in England. But there are other
points than money involved in this matter.
The Times of August 13th asks, “What
does tlie peace of the world depend upon at
this moment?” and after adroitly referring to
what the leading countries in the world might
desire, to attain that great boon, replies, that
tho peace of tho world depends neither upon
tlie will of this man nor of that, neither upon
the flow nor the ebb of tlie war now stagnant
on tho banks of the Potomac, neither upon
the moderation nor the pertinacity of the Em
peror of tlie French, nor the impatience or
the sobriety of Italy. It depends wholly and
solely, according to human calculation, upon
a few days more sunshine. It then adds,
“ Yesterday was worth at least two millions to
England alone. Tlie day before yesterday
was worth quite as much. Every ray that
embrowns our rustling fields, every zephyr
that ventilates the mass of tall stalks, has its
money value. It is a question to us of at
least thirty millions. That is, however, tlie
smallest matter involved in it. A had harvest,
such as is still quite possible, although we are
all hoping that wo have passed the danger,
coining upon the heels of the failure of last
year, would mean famine prices, restricted
employment, suffering among the masses, dis
content, disaffection, agitation. It is not only
that -we should have, thirty ■millions mofc to pay,
but that we should also have at least thirty mil
lions less wherewith to pay them .”
There is infinite truth in this. Plenty
and peace are linked together, in fact as well
as in lingual connection. While there is
peace there is contentment. While there is
plenty there is peace. Good wages and cheap
food create contentment.. This is the case
more especially in France. The wrongs in
flicted upon the masses by tho monarchy and
the noblesse would not have culminated in the
Revolution of 1789, if the people, famished
by a bad harvest and crushing poverty, were
not driven into revolt by suffering. King
Henry of Navarre showed no small know
ledge of social as well as political economy,
when be declared bis highest ambition, as
ruler of France, was that every peasant should
have a fat pullet for his dinner every Sunday.
That, he knew, would show tlie peasantry
thriving—and, while the working-classes do
well, tho capitalists and property-holders are
sure to do still better. When people are
hungry they are angry, and surely anger is a
terrible impulse to war.
The Times reminds iis of a man who had
ono story, and that but a poor one, about a
ship. He would drag in this story whenever
he could find an opportunity, and when he
could not find lie would make one. However ho
commenced, or whatever the subject, he would
certainly deviate Into, « And, by. the way, that
reminds me of a curious little incident about
a ship.” Just noWj The Times resembles
this pertinacious anecdote-monger. However
a subject may be discussed in The Times, at
present, it is pretty sure to have the United
States dragged in at the dose. Thus, its
homily upon fine weather and the harvest,
winds tip in this wise;
“ A good harvest in Europe wilt be not only a
pledge of peace here, but will give a hope of peace
to America. There are evident signs that the State
resources at this momentarenot abundant on either
side. That the peoplo of the North will ever pay
the taxes now proposed to be levied no one will
lieve who knows what the objections of the multi
tude must certainly be to taxes which will he in the
nature of a poll-tax, and will be represented as
taking equal sums from the poor as from tho rich.
That any sane Englishman wilt send his money
over to America to buy paper certain to be repu
diated is out of the question. Tho only chance is
a good sale for the heavy stocks of food on hand and
for those now coming on. Some thirty millions of
English gold might seasonably light up the fires
anew, and give an impetus to the Sagging resent
ments of the Northern States, as well as to the com
merce of the Atlantic cities. Sunshine —a few days
of this baking sunshine —will relieve us from tho
necessity of paying this tribute, and will enable us
to eat our own bread and keep our own money.
The prospects tempt us to be hopeful. The expe
rienced folk who gather in Mark-lane are evidently
sanguine. The French, as our trade report of yes
terday’s dealing tells, have ceased to press upon
onr stocks, and have, therefore, as we may hope,
better reliance upon their own. We ourselves have
ceased to buy up at full prices tho remnant of our
had harvest of last year. The foreign wheats are
being brought forward in anticipation of downward
markets. ‘American flour was less in demand,
and town prices were looking down.’ It is not a
state of things for a song of triumph or a cry of
safety, but it is a state of things for sanguino hope.
If France should be only a little short, and if Eng
land should have an average crop, there will be
good chance of peace in Europe for the twelve
months yet to come. Occupied time and full bel
lies will keep the world from cmarreling. But the
Hcavens-reVen the material Heavens —have more
to do with it than the passions or the machinations
of men. ''There is more war in a day’s rain than in
an Emperor’s most ambitious’project,'and more
peace in a morning’s sunshine than even in a treaty
of commerce."
Fretty good writing, in its way. But wo
must say that the Times shows a great igno
rance in one respect. Let England have as
great a harvest as possible, and still this will
not supply the full demand of her thirty mil*
lion of inhabitants. Except in the Lothians,
which are cultivated like a market-garden,
very little grain is growuin Scotland, and the
known humidity of Ireland has prevented
grain being largoly or advantageously culti
vated in Ireland, which, in truth, is rather a
enttlc-raising than a grain-producing country.
With as heavy a harvest as the bounteous
mercy of God can give, Great Britain must
still look to foreign lands for her full supply
of the staff of life, and whenever that is done,
tlie United States, which has the largest and
cheapest stock of grain to sell, must he dealt
with.
. Widi more sharpness than accuracy, tlie
Times (adroitly begging tlie question) plump
ly declares that no sane Englishman will send
liis money over to America to buy paper cer
tain to be repudiated. et To buy paper” is an
ambiguous phrase, hut if the Times moans to
say that Englishmen will not gladly invest
their money in the United States* loan, we be
lieve that it is greatly mistaken. While from
S to 3| per cent, per annum is tlie utmost in
terest that can be obtained, by investment in
the British Funds, we may be certain that a
great deal will be withdrawn— has been with
drawn already —to be invested in our Govern
ment Koenritios which, with safety and solven
cy equal to those of England, will pay a much
greater interest. We know instances where
these investments have been made; more must
follow.
151,505,594
There will lie a plentiful harvest everywhere,
we 1 There is nothing better among na
tions than plenty of food, aud when Europe
runs short in that necessary production, she
can turn, as she always does, to the full grana
ry of the United States.
Dr. Russell and Captain Meagher.
■ 'The following letter appeared in the New
t Xfirk Tribune of yesterday i
Sin : My attention was called to-day, on my re
turn from tho review of tho division across tho Po
tomac, to a letter from officers of the Sixty-ninth
Regiment, in which the writers say that in “one or
two of the more recent letters of Mr. Russell to
tho London Times, allusions have been made to
Capt. T. K Meagher, seeming to imply that at and
immediately after the battle of Bull Bun. ho was
Wanting in his duly, and did net exhibit that steadi
ness and bravery, Ac.” The officers did not do me
the honor of reading my letters. I never alluded
to Capt. Meagher but in reference to his appear
ance at Centrevillc. The officors signing the letter
did not see him, they say, after tho final repulse.
My statement is that he came up on foot to the hill
nt’Centrcvillo with expressions admitting that there
had been a severe defeat at the hands of the Con
federates. As to tho mode in which ho discharged
his duty, as to his personal conduct in the battle. I
said not a word, though I did notice an absurd
statement about a flag, which I dare Say amused,
if it did not annoy, Capt, Meagher himself.
Your obedient servant,
IV. 11. Russell.
P. S.—l need scarcely say that the lies which
are printed of me do not deserve notice or refuta
tion. Not a word was said in my hearing to cause
mo annoyance on my visit to Harpers Ferry. The
congenial attempts to excite the soldiery to assassi
nation must be disgusting to Americans and sol
diers.
Washington, August 26, 1301.
Dr. Bussell continues a fortunate man—
having favors conferred upon him as an Eng
lish newspaper correspondent, of which Ameri
can letter-writers are not thought worthy. A
telegraphic despatch, dated Washington,
Wednesday, August 28, says “ Gen. McClel
lan went over the Potomac river to-day to
visit the camps and inspect tlie troops. Mr.
Bussell, of the London Times, was invited to
attend him. No other correspondent was fa
vored with a pass.”
Letter from Hagerstown.
OUTRAGES OP THE SECESSIONISTS
[Correspondence of Tlie Press.]
Hagerstown, Md., Aug. 27.
Mr. Editor : I hustcn.to inform you of the move I
inents of tho Secessionists hero on the border. At
Martinsburg, nineteen miles from this point, a
party, who came from Winchester, have burned a
large number of railroad cars, and dragged the
rest to Stiausburg by turnpike. Not content with
this, they have begun to commit various depreda
tions upon private property. On Monday last they
entered the store of a merchant named N. D. Ke
ncm ter, and demanded the keys_of his proof-safe.
Being unarmed and without assistance, he wus com
pelled to yield to their throats. After robbing him
of a considerable sum of money, they drove up a
number of wagons to the' door and proceeded to
load them with the balance of the property in the
premises, including the safe.
They then proceeded to the house of another
loyal citizen, who was absent from home at the
time. His wifo refusing to allow them to pillage
the house was knocked down, and, although preg
nant at the time, was so shamefully kicked aud
beaten that she will probably uet recover.
The outlaws, having secured as much plunder as
they could carry, then drove back to Winchester.

ly promising (as far as be could without promising)
that all should be well.
TnE Viceroy of Ireland has knighted Mr. Coey.
Mayor of Relfast. The new knight was warmly
congratulated by his Excellency and by a largo
number of personal friends. His Excellency then
called for “ three cheers for Sir Edward and Lady
Coey.” There is a special fitness and significance
in this honor which does not meet the eye of a
stranger. Sir Edward Coqy has risen and prospered
with the great town of which he is the chief magis
trate. Ho is proud to acknowledge that forty
years ago he entered Relfast a poor boy,' seeking
employment without a shilling in his pocket. Now
he is one of the wealthiest in a community re
nowned for its wealth. He has purchased at a cost
of £BO,OOO the ancestral estate of the Earl of An
trim, and he now ranks among the landed gentry
of liis native country. No one envies him liis
rank and honors, for ho does not forget the friends
of his youth.
It is stated that the visit to Southampton, to-rnor
row, of tho Archduke Maximilian. Lord High Ad
miral of Austria, is for the purpose of ascertaining
the commercial facilities of that port as a terminus
for tho projected line of steamers between England
and Trieste.
New Spiritual Peer.— ln tho event of a cler
gyman being appointed directly to the Bishopric of
Durham, instead of the translation of a Bishop tak
ing place, there will be no difference made in the
spiritual peerage, as the now Bishop will bo entitled
to take his seat at once as Bishop of Durham, undor
the Manchester Bishopric act. Should, however,
any Bishop be promoted to the richer see of Dur
ham, as will in all probability bo tho case. Dr. Phil
pqtt. the recently consecrated Bishop of Worcester,
will bo entitled to lake his seat in the House of
Lords at the commencement of the next Session,
and will have to perform the duties of junior Bi
shop, now discharged by the Bishop of Carlisle.
Blonuin was meeting with great success daily in
some part of England. His latest achievement was
a night ascent with fireworks at Liverpool.
A prospectus has been issued of the Endless
Railway Traction Engine Company, with a capital
or £30,000, in shares of 810 each. The Roard of
Direction is apparently well constituted, and the
object is to bring into general use Boydcll’s endless
railway traction engine, which, now that the impe
diments to this method oflocomotion have been re
moved by act of Parliament, is expected to produeo
important results in cheapening the heavy goods
traffic of the country. Engines and wagons iiave
been ordered for India by the Government, who
have also presented an engine and gun-carriage,
with the endless railway, to the Viceroy of Egypt',
for the purpose of conveying artillery over tne
sandy deserts. For agricultural operations the in
vention is believed to be likely to come into exten
sive use.
Tiie bill to regulate the use of locomotives on
common roads, introduced by Mr. Garnett, has now
become law, and is expected to lead to important
results in cheapening the transit of heavy goods.
During the last thirty years great efforts have been
made to use steam on common roads, but, incredi
ble as it may seem in a country whose prosperity is
inseparably connected with an early use of every
such facility, they have been perseveringly defeat
ed by the opposition of the local trustees, who have
imposed prohibitory tolls. Two years back, an ex
periment to convey coal by a traction engine from
Little Hutton to Manchester, a distance of seven
miles, is understood to have proved hot only that
an immense saving could be effected, but that the
WOflr and tear of the road was diminished. Yet the
toll charged amounted to 4s. per ton, against 3_id.
per ton for coal drawn by horses; and this,'of
course, effectually prevented the introduction of
the system. The new bill assimilates ihe tolls to
be charged, in a great degree, to those charged for
horse traffic; and, although it comprises various
regulations which will probably be found to Fo more
or less needless or vexatious, it seems sufficiently
wide to enable the method to have at least a fair
field.
National Education in- Ireland, —A return
which has been issued from tho Office of National
Education states that the sums voted by Parlia
ment for the purpose of national education in Ire
land, from the commencement of the system to tho
end of the year 1860, amount in the whole to £3,-
317,964. The local contributions in aid of teach
ers’salaries wero £43,961. in 1860, and there are
also local contributions otherwise in sustainment of
the system. 4,073 schools have been built without
any aid from Parliament.

. The poor old tumble-down, unsavoury Cite, os
the mass of habitations on tho island crowned by
Notre Dame is still called, seems likely to be swept
away almost entirely, and replaced by 'very dif
ferent structures. Large inroads have been made
already in the neighborhood of the Palais de Jus
tice ; and now another grand sweep is about to
tako place, which will obliterate the Rue de la Ca
lundre, the Rue aux Feves or Febvres, the Quai du
Marche-Neuf, and parts of other streets; and it
will destroy some of the localities celebrated by
Eugene Sue. The cost-, even of these miserable
buildings, will bo something considerable, the
juries having allotted nearly five millions of francs
to the claimants. In this case there will be no re
construction of private dwellings, the whole of tho
plots being appropriated to the widening of the
public ways and the construction of one more
new barrack ! The population must emigrate to
the Batignolles or Algeria. Apart from the accom
modation of the poor people who now livo and work
iu tho cite, there is no question that the change
will bo a vast improvement, the quarter being one of
the worst in Paris, and not presenting any interest
even in an antiquarian point of view ; the houses
aro not ancient or curious, only rotten and un
healthy. On this spot did the famous Saint Eloi
build a church on ground given him by Dagobert,
and also a religious establishment ; but they have
long disappeared.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following re
specting the rumored visit of the Ivin" of Prussia
to the Camp at Chalons:- “General willisen left
Baden on the 6th of August for Paris, with an auto
graph letter from tlio King of Prussia, in which
King William explains to the Emperor Napoleon
the motives which prevent his intended visit to Cha
lons, and expresses the hope that the two Sovereigns
may meet at some later period. The King had long
desired such an interview, and still hopes for it.
The reasons which have determined him to give up
the projected visit to Chalons are attributed in part
to motives of health and the prolongation of his so
journ at Eaden, occasioned by the attempt upon his
life, and are, moreover, principally founded on con
scientious grounds. The King not having yet been
crowned, and not, therefore, having solemnly as
sumed his dignity, hesitates, up to a certain point,
to make a display of that dignity in so public a
manner as a visit to the Camp of Chalons would
imply. For a less ceremonious visit, which might
be made later either from Ostcnd or Eaden, those
motives would no longer exist beforo the festivities
of the Coronation. The King will leave Baden to
wards the middle of the present month for Ostend,
where he will be joined by Baron de Schleinitz.”

BLOCKADING A FLORIDA PORT
The Tallahassee Floridian says:
On Wednesday the United States steamer Mo
hawk brought the sloop Stoat, lately captured by
her up to the outer buoy, below [St."Marks, where
the crew of the steamer scuttled the sloop, and
sunk her across the channel, first having cut her
deck in pieces with axes. The steamer then went
out again to her old anchoring place. A boat from
Fort Williams went to the sloop, and succeeded in
getting off her rigging and some other articles.
The place where the sloop was sunk is four mile 3
and a half from Fort Williams, out of reach of the
guns.
The channel at the mouth of the St. Marks is very
narrow, so that the sinking of a hull in it will effec
tually obstruct the passage of vessels into that
port.

TRAVELLING IN THE SOUTH.
Last evening we saw a couple of gentlemen just
from New Orlerns. They arrived at Nashville at
ten o’clock on Saturday morning, and their baggage
was transferred directly to the Louisville and Nash
ville depot. Thcro one of the gentlemen bought
tickets for his whole party, consisting of several
ladies and gentlemen, and the whole entered the
cars, anticipating no trouble. Just before the
starting of the cars, however, -all of them, male and
female, were taken out because they had no pass
ports. To obtain these was a matter of much diffi
culty. One of the gentlemen happening to have a
relative two or three miles from Nashville, went
out and brought him in as a voucher. Thus he
got himself vouched for, and he vouched for tho
Indies of the company, and one or two other gentle
tlemen found vouchers, and so the whole got under
wav in tho afternoon train. Between Nashville
and the State line, a hundred and forty letters were
token from the pockets of the passengers to be car
ried back to the Nashville Vigilance Committee,
some of them containing important financial docu
ments, and others being letters of introduction. A
lieutenant, on his way from his regiment in Rich
mond, had forty letters from the men to their fami
lies and friends, but all of these were taken back
to Nashville. At the State line all the baggage
was overhauled by a committee stationed there for
the express purpose.— Louisville Journal, 2 ItU,

COTTON AND THE BLOCKAIIE.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says: Cotton pick
ing has already commenced inthebest nndforward
est cotton belt of Georgia—tho Southwestern coun
ties —and within three weeks or less tho hands can
commence gathering it in this section. By the Ist
of September there is often first-rate picking. The
planters of course will hurry forward this work, as
usual, with all possible speed, and endeavor to save
the crop in good order. The promise of an average
yield, per acre, is very good, but. less land having
been planted the crop may be shorter than an
average, though we think it will be larger in Geor
gia, The cotton is to be gathered and saved; but
the question then is, what then to do with it ? The
general advice from all the ports, except Charles
ton, we believe, is to keep it at homo, and we think
this is the best advice that can be given, and that
for many roasons.
The uncertainty as to the time when the block
ade will be raised, so that cotton can go forward to
its chief markets (foreign), will prevent the sale of
it In the interior home markets and at the ports,
except what may be needed for consumption at our
own factories. That amount is not large, though it
will probably increase, and particularly if it should
appear that we are not to have an opportunity to
reach the foreign markets during the coming win
ter and spring. The old stock, however, now in
warehouse and in the hands of manufacturers, will
keep our manufactories going for some months to
come. Then why send cotton to cither the interior
towns or the ports?
It is said that it should be ready to take Us earli
est chance for a market. But this is the advice of
speculators and others interested in the carriage,
storage, and sale of cotton—and not to benefit tho
producer. Suppose only 150,000 bales stored in
Augusta, and the blockade raised next January; it
would require eight millions of dollars to move it,
and as the means at hand would be insufficient, of
course the buyers would be the veriest hears, and
tho price go down, down, with such a supply ur
gently seeking market, and all to tho plantors’
loss.
The farmer and planter can store his cotton at a
much less cost than any one can store it for him;
and in fact without paying out money nt all for it,
and it is certainly best for him to do so, when the
time of sale is so uncertain andjndefinite. And as
to insurance, it comes out of tho producer any way,
and he can have it insured at home just as well as
well as if it were in a warehouse in town, and per
haps nt less cost, He may want ad ranees on his
crop, perhaps, hut if he can get them at all, he can
get them just as well while his cotton is in his gin
house and sheds. We know that in lower Georgia
and the west—not so much so in this region—ad
vances are made on cotton even before it is planted.

“I must tell you of the noble bravery of one of
Ellsworth’s Zouaves. 110 had been shot in the
wrist, and the ball had severed an artery. It was
after we had made tho second charge upon the bat
tery, and I had lost my gun, which had bees, knocked
from my hands by a cannon ball, and I was now in
the rear of the company, when I saw the Zouave
creeping toward mo. ‘Boy,’ said he,‘for God’s
sake hold me up a minute. I am gone under,
but lot me fire onoe more on them.’ I held him up,
and, facing him round towards the enemy, steadied
his arm while he fired six shots from his revolver
at them, I then helped him down the hill towards
the hospital, a short distance, when he asked me to
examine his side, as he felt a pain there, I opened
his olothes, and found that a bell had passed through
his body. I carried him a little further, when sud
denly. our whole body, artillery, infantry, end all,
were rushing upon us in full retreat, and crying
out, ‘All save themselves who can.’ ‘ Go,’ said the
Zouave, ‘go, my boy, you are not hurt, and I am a
dead man; they cannet hurt me any more. Go, fol
God’s sake go!’ and £ had to leaye him.' 1

At Cincinnati, according to the Gazette, tha
money market continues quiet, the offerings of ac
ceptable paper being very moderate. For the lat
ter there is a good demand at 10aI2 per cent.
Treasury notes have become scarce, the Govern
ment officers having ceased paying them out.
Those heretofore .issued have mostly disappeared.
The market is firm at 975. Government cheeks on
New York on tho market greatly increased tho
supply of exchange, and bankers had all they carod
to buy at par. The selling rate remained at l
premium. Gold is inactive.
The New York Evening Post says of money and
stock matters in that city to-day:
The stock market is firm, with a better inquiry
throughout the list. The bonds are decidedly bet
ter, and this imparted to the rest of the market a
very firm feeling.
Pacific Mail maintained the advance of yester
day-sales at 75ia75i.
There is an advance of 2ia3 per cent, in most of
the Southern State bonds, especially Georgias and
North Curolinas. The former sold freely at 70,
and the latter close at 56i bid. Tennessees are i
per cent, higher, and Missouris are also in demand,
at an improvement of Ja) per cent. South Caro
linas are weak, and offered at 53 without fiuding
buyers.
Northern State stocks are firm and higher, Illi
nois coupon bonds of 1579 rose to 84, California., to
75ia75j. For Massachusetts and Vermont sixes 101
is bid. For Connecticut sixes 102 would be paid.
Government sixes of ISSI are 1 per cent, better.
The registered sold at 872, tho coupons at 88.
Money is moderately active at 5n6 per cent, oo
call, with less doing at the outside rates. First
class paper is in small supply at 5a7 per cent.
SB Exchange on London is quiet at 1075a107i. Most
of the bankers hold at the outside figure.
The demand for the 7.30 per cent, treasury notes
is brisk, and the subscriptions nro increasing in
amount. The Buffalo Savings Bank has taken
$104,000, and other large sums are now in course of
negotiation. The Bank-Note Company will com
mence printing them as soon as the proportion of
denominations (which is not easy to adjust) is de
termined upon.
There is a steady absorption of the G per cent, tw*
year notes, and free soles were made to-day at 97ja
9S. We hear of several orders from Boston in
market, which have been filled at these pricos.
Nearly all the demand notes wanted at present
by the Department have been supplied by the
Bank-Note Company. In a few days those payable
in St. Louis will be in circulation in that section.
The notes have not appeared here yet in any quanti
ty, their issuo boing retarded by the tedious work
of signing and registering. Nearly all the clerks
of tho Treasury Department are now engaged on
the fives and tens. Most of the S2O, $5O, $5OO, and.
$l,OOO are ready for circulation.
The Boston bank presidents held a meeting yes
terday in regard to the ten-million loan already
taken and to issue loan certificates to be used in set
tlements, to the extent of ninety per cent, of the
face of subscription. The Boston Post says :
“ Matters of minor detail were loft to a com
mittee of eight. Some of the institutions could not
take the required per centage, but the aggregate
deficiency was small, and is more than o&et by
the applications of other corporations. Tho most
cordial feeling pervaded the meeting, and all
seemed disposed to do their utmost for the groat
and good cause in which we are engaged.”
